Revolutionary England, c. 1630-c. 1660 presents a series of
cutting-edge studies by established and rising authorities in the
field, providing a powerful discourse on the events, crises and
changes that electrified mid-seventeenth-century England. The
descent into civil war, killing of a king, creation of a republic,
fits of military government, written constitutions, dominance of
Oliver Cromwell, abolition of a state church, eruption into major
European conflicts, conquest of Scotland and Ireland, and
efflorescence of powerfully articulated political thinking dazzled,
bewildered or appalled contemporaries, and has fascinated scholars
ever since. Compiled in honour of one of the most respected
scholars of early modern England, Clive Holmes, this volume
considers themes that both reflect Clive's own concerns and stand
at the centre of current approaches to seventeenth-century studies:
the relations between language, ideas, and political actors; the
limitations of central government; and the powerful role of
religious belief in public affairs. Centred chronologically on
Clive Holmes' seventeenth-century heartland, this is a focused
volume of essays produced by leading scholars inspired by his
scholarship and teaching. Investigative and analytical, it is
valuable reading for all scholars of England's revolutionary
period.
